Administrative Authentication
When you install the ESM Console, you specify the administrative
user and type of authentication that the ESM Console uses to authenticate
administrative users. You can change these preferences using the Database
(DB) Configuration Tool (see Configure
Administrative Access to the ESM Console Using the DB Configuration
Tool) or using the ESM Console (see Configure
the Authentication Mode). You can also specify a preexisting
authentication group to use for administrative access. By default,
no groups are specified.
You can configure the following types of administrator authentication:
Account Type | Description |
|---|---|
Domain | Uses accounts defined in Active Directory—including
users, groups, or organizational units—for administrative access. |
Machine | Uses accounts that are local to the ESM
Console server for administrative access. |
